Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,619	101.50	1,643	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,054	69.27	730	13

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,185	61.00	723	1thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
